Thanks to your generosity, we were able to upgrade our service plan. Hopefully this will help us address some of our performance issues.
Devcat is done with rearranging local software extensions. If anyone notices any problems, say so :^)

Build me straight, O worthy Master!
Stanch and strong, a goodly vessel,
That shall laugh at all disaster,
And with wave and whirlwind wrestle!
Many pleasant memories of sailing near Montauk. I went to Stony Brook School, on the North Shore. I fell in with a family with a boy from Falmouth MA and many were the happy days we spent in the LI Sound aboard their yacht.Report
If you created those jobs, do we deduct them from Obama’s total?Report
This doesn’t seem in the spirit of togetherness. I prefer to look at it as “Only 12,999,998 to go!”Report
Obama’s total what?Report
Number of jobs he created.Report
How much has each job cost the gov’t?Report
Think of all the jobs the government could have created with the money you were using to create jobs!Report
I wish “job creation” actually involved creating unheard of new jobs. Like, “Funeral Clown- bam! I created a job! Search and rescue cats! Bam! I created another one!”Report
